Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06162884Recruiting
Using one scan to predict early scarred lung disease
This study uses a single lung scan to find early signs of progressive scarring (fibrosis) in people with pulmonary fibrosis. It may help doctors predict which patients will get worse faster.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05807399RecruitingPhase 2
Step2c trial for new, drug-susceptible lung TB
This Phase 2 study tests treatment for people with newly diagnosed, drug-susceptible pulmonary (lung) tuberculosis (TB). It aims to see whether the study treatment works well and is safe for curing TB.
LambarénéAges 18–65 - NCT06143969Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided clot-dissolving treatment for intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism
This trial tests a treatment that uses ultrasound to guide a thin tube (catheter) to deliver clot-busting medicine directly into the blood clot in your lung. It may be an option for people whose clot is serious but not yet causing shock, and who have symptoms that started within the last two weeks.
Milan, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06114667Recruiting
Nasal high flow vs. mask for COPD flare-up
This study compares two types of breathing support for people having a severe COPD flare-up with high carbon dioxide and acidic blood. It tests if a gentle air flow through the nose (nasal high flow) works as well as a mask (non-invasive ventilation) to help you breathe better.
Montpellier, MontepllierAges 18–85 - NCT01177618Recruiting
Study of early-onset severe COPD in younger adults
This study looks at people who develop COPD (a long-term lung breathing problem) at a younger age and have severe airflow limitation. It may help researchers better understand COPD in early-onset patients and find ways to improve care for this group.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT05485376Recruiting
Pulmonary artery catheter use in cardiogenic shock patients
This trial studies whether using a special pressure-monitoring tube in the heart’s main artery (a pulmonary artery catheter) helps people who are in cardiogenic shock from weak heart pumping. If you qualify, the goal is to improve how doctors monitor and treat this dangerous, fast-moving condition.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT05975983RecruitingPhase 2
Oral treatment test for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
This Phase 2 study tests whether an oral medication (INS018_055) can help people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). You may be a fit if your lung function is in a certain range and your condition is stable.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40 years+ - NCT01776398Recruiting
Donating breath, blood, and urine samples for lung research
This study collects airway samples (usually during a bronchoscopy), plus blood and/or urine, to help researchers study lung conditions. It may help advance understanding of lung disease and related biology, but it is not a treatment trial.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06041594Recruiting
Treating pulmonary embolism with the Laguna thrombectomy system
This trial tests a device (Laguna Thrombectomy System) to remove blood clots in the lungs. It may help people with a recent pulmonary embolism who are stable enough to undergo a minimally invasive procedure.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–85 - NCT06038630RecruitingPhase 2
Xenon gas MRI study for lung and heart health
This study uses a special MRI scan (Xenon gas imaging) to look at how well your lungs and heart are working. It is for people with certain lung conditions, those getting blood transfusions or phlebotomy, or healthy volunteers.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05989698Recruiting
Validating a wearable cough monitor (C-mo)
This study tests a wearable device (C-mo) that monitors coughing. It is for people of all ages who are currently coughing and can cooperate with wearing a small sensor on their belly for a short time.
